Theresa’s Country Feed & Pet celebrated its 40th anniversary on June 29. Organized by the Simi Valley Chamber of Commerce, the celebration brought together city dignitaries, staff members, pet food vendors and community members, many of whom brought along their beloved pets.
Theresa’s demonstrated its ongoing commitment to community support by raising $30,000 for a local family whose son is battling Stage 4 high-risk neuroblastoma.
“We are deeply grateful for the support from our community over the past 40 years,” said Jay Romick, operations manager for the feed and pet company that has stores in Simi Valley, Moorpark, Westlake Village and Tarzana.
“This celebration is not just about our milestone, but also about giving back to the community that has supported us.”
